DENVER, Colo. On orders from Senator John McCain's security detail, Denver police escorted a 61-year-old woman away who was waiting in line to attend a so-called town hall meeting with McCain that was billed as open to the public.
Carol Kreck, who works as a librarian in Denver, held a homemade sign reading 'McCain = Bush.' On orders from McCain's security detail, police cited her for trespassing and escorted her to the sidewalk. She was told if she returned she would be arrested.
'And all I did was carry a sign that said McCain = Bush,' Kreck said. 'And for everyone who voted for Bush, I don't see why it's offensive to say McCain = Bush.'
This episode by McCain's Secret Service appears to be a rerun of McCain's 2005 town hall in Denver with President Bush in which the Secret Service had three Denver citizens removed from an 'open' event where McCain was campaigning with Pres. Bush for his plan to privatize social security."
This meeting was held on public city property. You will also be seeing this sort of thing at the Democrat's gatherings. Is this the sort of America you thought you lived in? Don't you think it will be easier now, to stand up for what you think America should be, rather than waiting until later when the effort might take a more drastic turn? Independence, Revolution...either of those ring any bells for you?
Take the time this year, do your research, show up at the meetings, make your voice heard. You'll never forgive yourself if you don't.
